Can Google AdSense target content section for relevancy?
Since I have setup my website using content management system (CMS) the ads were generally relevant to the title of my site than to the content. It took me a while to realize this and started surfing my own site and checking the ads carefully.
CAUTION: DON’T CLICK YOUR OWN ADS, AS IT IS AGAINST THE GOOGLE TOS.
The reason for this is that CMS divides thing and a template is build to load the contents dynamically. There is no way the AdSense know the subject of the content as it is not mentioned where the content start or end.
As my site is about ‘Make Money Online’ I had to find out the possibilities to point the AdSense script to know the content. I thought about many possibilities, including implementing the AdSense code directly to the content. Even though this is possible, it will over haul the concept of the CMS. For me, it is like going back in time, where I was creating page by page, with the same header and footer. Remember the trouble in getting all of them linked properly? I do, so that option died out faster than it came up.
There I was on the search again! This time I directed the search towards getting or creating a component for the CMS. So that it is automatically places AdSense code within the content as predefined while coding the component.
At this point I came to 2 best options! One was the Mambo AdSense manager 2.5 and the other was mod AdSense 3.0. Both didn’t solve my problem of ad relevancy. After trying out and doing many hacks to the PHP code, I was back to square one.
After searching for many hours, to my surprise I came to the Goggle page, where they have implemented this feature back in Sept. 2005 or so and there was a guide how to implement the section or sections of your site for AdSense relevancy.
Wow! That simple it is and not well known out there. At least I assume that it is not well known because my search didn’t point to this immediately.
Audio ads payout to Webmaster!
I couldn’t find out the exact payment to webmasters, by th evoice2page company, just jet. But I have the percentage of your earnings of what advertiser spend for that particular play. Some thing is better than nothing. Thus I published it here!
The other way you can earn is by simply referring other website owners, online marketing firms, fortune 500 companies, etc. to run PPP ads on their website(s). You will earn a healthy 5% of the total amount that our advertisers spend running ads on your referrals website(s).
Just to be clear… you are not earning 5% of what your direct referral earns (they earn 25%), you you earn 5% of what the advertiser spent to have their ad played on your direct referrals website.
And as a further incentive we have made it possible for you to earn an additional 5% from anyone that your direct referrals bring on board as if you directly referred them!
In summary you will earn:
- 25% of what the advertiser spends on PPP ads you serve on your own website(s).
- 5% of what the advertiser spends on PPP ads played on the website(s) of those you refer.
- 5% of what the advertiser spends on PPP ads played on the website(s) that your direct referrals bring on board.

Write Product Reviews to increase traffic
Write Product reviews to increase traffic to your site and maximize make money online.
Product reviews are similar to writing testimonials except a product review will be more detailed and provide the reader with in-depth information on how the product works, the benefits, features, and your personal feelings about the product and how it benefited you.
A product review should span a full page of your website. Most product reviews are better utilized when promoting affiliate programs and is used as a pre-sales strategy. The more information you can give your viewer about the products you endorse the more likely you are to make a sale and you come closer to your make money online goal.
When writing a product review, don’t simply tell your viewer that a product or service is really great and point them to your affiliate page, writing a personal review should be backed up with detailed information and specifics. This is much more appealing and convincing to your reader.
I recommend purchasing products before providing a review. I’ve purchased and used most of the products I endorse, however if I endorse something that I haven’t purchased I make darn sure that it’s a quality, premium product. I do this by talking to others and doing my homework. After all, my reputation is on the line. But more importantly, you can give a much more compelling review if you are intimately familiar with a product or service.
For example, I can tell you that a BMW is a very good car and I could write up a very good review. I wouldn’t be lying if I said it is a good, quality car because it is, however I could make a much more compelling claim if I actually owned the car and provided some personal details that not everyone else might tell you about.
Also, it doesn’t hurt the review to put in things you don’t like about a product. As much as you like something there’s always room for improvement and your viewers will appreciate the honesty.
It always stands to reason that when you actually use something yourself you are in a much better position to make a compelling, believable review.
So, what are you waiting for? Start writing your product review and make money online!
